Cruise Port Transfers · Nice
Cruise calls on the Riviera mean either the Port of Nice, near the Old Town, or Villefranche-sur-Mer, where big ships anchor in the bay and tender guests ashore. We meet either and take you to Monaco, Cannes, Eze or the airport, with a fixed fare, a vetted chauffeur and a pickup point described precisely in advance.
Business district
Our chauffeurs work daily around Sophia Antipolis and the Nice business quarter, with regular runs to Promenade des Anglais, the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, Èze.
Along the Côte d'Azur the coastal Basse Corniche crawls in summer; chauffeurs use the A8 for timed airport runs and save the corniche for scenic requests.
Corporate travel in NiceThe tender quay is small, and queues form for both going ashore and returning. We build in time for the last tender and tell you where the chauffeur will wait. On busy days several ships can be in the bay, so we suggest an early start ashore and a return well before the final tender.
The port is close to Vieux Nice and the Cours Saleya market, and the airport is about 20 minutes away. Smaller ships dock here, and passengers walk straight into the old town. A private SUV is useful for longer excursions, or for guests with luggage heading to the airport at the end of the voyage. The Old Town is a few minutes' walk, but the corniche route out of the port can queue behind coaches in the morning.
Eze village, Monaco and Cap Ferrat are popular; a private SUV gives you flexibility instead of a coach. A typical plan includes the medieval village of Eze in the morning, lunch in Monaco and a return to the quay in the afternoon, with the chauffeur parking and waiting while you walk.
For embarkation, we collect you from NCE or a hotel and deliver you to the quay or the tender point at the time your cruise line gives you. After the voyage, the chauffeur meets you at the pier, loads the luggage and takes you to the airport, timed to your departure.
The last hour before departure is the one that causes stress. On the Riviera, the roads towards Villefranche slow in the afternoon, and the tender pier can have a long queue. We recommend leaving Monaco or Eze at least ninety minutes before the last tender and tell you in advance when to start back.
Pickup calculated backwards from your boarding window and the port's traffic pattern.
Extended SUVs available for parties traveling with full cruise luggage.
Chauffeurs know the correct pier, lane and porter points at each cruise terminal.
We track the ship's arrival and hold the vehicle until you clear the terminal.
